Trudeau Foundation and Saranac Laboratory Publication Lists, with a History of the Saranac Laboratory (1958)

A 110-page typed compilation from the Trudeau Foundation at Saranac Lake, New York, marked as a deposition exhibit. It lists the studies published by the Trudeau Foundation and the Saranac Laboratory year by year, from Dr. Edward L. Trudeau's first paper in 1885 to 1958, and includes photographs of the laboratory, a short history of it, and a portrait of Dr. Leroy Gardner. The last page is Philip Drinker's obituary of Gardner, reprinted from the Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology of March 1947.

What it shows

The lists show the range of dust and lung research done at Saranac, including Gardner's long series on silica and asbestos and the 1950s studies of other industrial dusts. Drinker's obituary credits Gardner with showing that "the long fibers thrown into the air in processing asbestos minerals would cause asbestosis."
